Uganda publishes the Bundibugyo Ebolavirus sequence within 4 days of the outbreak announcement. The sequence comes from the virus isolated from an imported case who came for medical treatment in Uganda. It is important to note that there is NO community transmission of the virus so far in Uganda. Well done the team @MinofHealthUG @GovUganda @ICER_Global Thanks to support coming from @AfricaCDC @WHOUganda @WHO

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron began circulating in late 2021, and its subvariants remain the dominant strains in 2026. Over the years, we’ve often heard that newer variants were becoming less severe, but a new systematic review published yesterday suggests that may not be true. Stay up to date with your vaccines and boosters, people. #Covid #LongCovid

Even though I don't think Hantavirus will become the next pandemic, public health needs to step up immediately to control the outbreak.
▶️Full contact tracing
▶️Quarantine of contacts&cruise passengers
▶️Serial testing contacts
▶️Full PPE (respirators, coveralls) for caregivers
